Goading or herding a mammoth into a pre-planted pikewall seems much more likely than a single hunter planting a spear and waiting for a charge.

Narrow or raised terrain, hunting blinds or other kinds of prepared cover could also make a more in the moment sort of plant-and-dodge tactic less likely to result in injury.

His Russian handlers are withdrawing him now that is clear he's hurting their own candidate rather than the dems.

You're a troll though. It's easy to tell because every single post in your comment history is trolling.

I'm gonna block you now but best of luck with your future trolling.

Indeed, this may be the most propitious time to ask ourselves this: Is the U.S. even an actual democracy? There is plenty of evidence to contend that it is not; in fact, the U.S. was never designed to be democratic, so the obsession of the country’s political leaders, past and present, to portray the nation as the “world’s greatest democracy” should provoke laughter instead of elicit pride.

We're clearly not really a democracy either on paper or in practice. The system wasn't designed as a democracy, our voting system often results in winners who didn't secure majority support, policy outcomes don't represent majority opinion, and the rich regularly get away with buying their way out of justice.

These problems will all get worse as fascists get more access to the levers of state power.

So I feel it's important to vote for whichever candidate stands the most realistic chance of defeating the local republican. Mostly that's going to be a democrat. The two party system is part of the problem, but keeping fascists away from power is a more pressing problem.

Like everything else from Ελων, you're not getting what he says you're getting. That's very clearly a war-wagon, not a chariot. He's just standing in front of the back wheels.

Threaded messages seems fine to me, as you said that usage is more well understood than threadiverse which risks conceptually-centering a billionaire controlled platform.

The existence of threads makes threadiverse an inappropriate name for fediverse content aggregators, is the point I was being overly sarcastic about.

[fox news contributer Sarah] Carter added: “I condemn Candace Owens, I condemn her disgraceful fall to espousing pure antisemitism

Exactly! She should stick to espousing thinly-veiled antisemitism like every other republican.

How else does she expect to hold together the republican coalition of supporters of israel's genocide and people who still believe in the blood libel?

Defederating from threads seems like the best way to make it nice. That way there's less influence from psychopathic billionaires who happily stoke genocide for clicks.

Unless you're dicing the friends in with the tofu I don't understand where the regret comes from?

You're a social primate with social anxiety?

 

Chinuk Wawa, also called Chinook Trade Jargon, is an incredibly simple language with like ~1000 words and basically no grammar. It's a pidgin of several native languages with some english and french influence.

The language was spoken by settler and native alike, until the railroad arrived and English overwhelmed it.

The Confederated Tribes of Grand Ronde built a very nice app to help learn this very important part of our region's heritage.
